Return to Your Roots- Your Questions, Answered

by Author in my Heart

This isn't actually a fic or anything, this is just where I respond in depth to your reviews for my HP fic "Return to Your Roots". Rated T because I have to rate each story and also I don't have a filter when I let myself respond to reviews, so read with...some level of caution. There's the occasional swear.

IAmTheMetatron1946: Have you ever heard the Jersey Boys soundtrack? It's awesome. I am going to see Wicked next month, in London with family.

I have heard the Jersey Boys soundtrack! I've got to say, I wasn't really a fan, mostly because my mom made me listen to it with her when I was in late middle school, so listening to that at 13 years old with my mom wasn't exactly…fun, more very awkward. Definitely worth listening to, though. I'm a big fan of Wicked, though, the music—while cheesy at times, I mean, Something Baaaaad? really?—is stellar and I love the concept. I hope you enjoyed the show!

Guest: Oh... Maybe Regulus x Harry moments in between the chapters/books? Even if they change the past 16 yes isn't that bad when they can live to be over a 100.

I've always wondered why they never watched pensive memories during at least some of the chapters while reading... Like for the really important things. First Quidditch match, watching Norberta hatch, Creepy Tom in the forest, and Harry turning the possessed D.A.D.A. teacher to ash in the first book. Maybe the memories could be like a type of hologram that tops out of the book? Not to unlike Toms Diary.

I've already answered the Regulus x Harry thing in the proper story!

Hmmm I've seen the pensive memories thing done once or twice and quite enjoyed it. That's a really brilliant suggestion! I'll definitely incorperate it, but probably in filler chapters after finishing each book.

WizardingWhovian: Love the chapter! (BTW, what's your favorite Hamilton song? And have you listened to any original/deleted songs? My favorite is Satisfied and the Original Adams Administration.) Please include the epilogue because you totally need an 'I open at the close' joke.

I've definitely answered this in the proper story, but let me say again that I love the song Burn. It's amazing and Phillipa Soo has a beautiful voice. I also totally spent a good semester of classes doodling bad fanart of the song instead of taking notes. I did come up with a pretty funny joke where instead of singing Burn when Eliza finds out about Alexander's affair and the Reynolds Pamphlet and everything, she sings "Should've Said No", and I almost dropped a hot pan on the floor because I was laughing so hard thinking about that.

I have plans to include the epilogue for many reasons, but right now the top reason is to make the "I open at the close" joke. My writing for this fanfiction is 80% bad humor, so that's definitely going to be pretty much how the story ends.

PersonWithFeathers: This story's already off to a great start and I hope you finish it! I'm excited to see what'll happen next and I have a feeling someone's going to blow.

I'm going to finish it! …Eventually. But it will happen. Again, the filler chapters right now are mostly just that, filler chapters to make sure things still happen, but once this story is completed and I've started planning for the sequel(s), I'll go back and edit the filler chapters to make them better.

buterflypuss: good chap

Thanks!

Joshua the Arcanis: I like this story... Oh, I like this story a lot. Waiting til' the next installment.

Thank you so much! I hope the wait has been worth it, since I vanished for a while there. Back up and running, though, and things are on track for this story to finish!

malfoyravenclaw555: Really great.

Thank you! It really makes me happy to know people are enjoying this.
